| 1 | EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE ON IMMUNE RESPONSE RELATED TO OPIOID-LIKE PEPTIDES显示文摘Experimental research has recently shown that acupuncture induces the formation of opioid-like peptides (OLPs) in animals. In order to provide further evidence, we tested the β-endorphin levels and other parameters (VIP, lymphocyte subsets, NK cells and monocyte phagocytosis) in a group of 90 patients suffering from various painful disorders treated with acupuncture. Zusanli (St 36) and Hegu (LI 4) acupoints were selected. A homogeneous group of 30 subjects was used as control. Evaluation of the above parameters was made with 3 series of blood tests before treatment, 30 minutes and 24 hours after acupuncture treatment. In the acupuncture group, the following results were achieved: 1) A considerable increase in β-endorphin levels remained high even 24 hours after acupuncture treatment. In addition, we demonstrated an inverted correlation between β-endorphins and VIP; 2) 30 minutes after acupuncture session, 80% of the treated patients showed a significant increase of CD3 and CD4 values and an increase of CD8 24 hours after stimulation; 3) Monocyte phagocytosis was increased in 45% of the treated subjects 30 minutes from starting treatment, and in 100% of them after 24 hours. The percentage of NK cells was also increased in 40% of cases after 30 minutes, and in 50% after 24 hours. However, in the control group, no such significant changes in immune parameters were found. | FILOMENA PETTI ALFIO BANGRAZI ALDO LIGUORI GABRIELLA REALE FLORA IPPOLITI | 1998 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine1998,18,1: | 20 |
| 2 | Study on Cytokines IL-2,IL-6,IL-10 in Patients of Chronic Allergic Rhinitis Treated with Acupuncture显示文摘Objectives: To observe the plasmatic concentration of IL-6, IL-10 and IL-2 in the patient of chronic allergic rhinitis before and after acupuncture therapy. Methods: Cytokine levels were determined before and after treatment in 30 healthy volunteers (Group A) and 90 patients of chronic allergic rhinitis (Group B) with an increased plasma IL-10 level. Group B was then divided into 3 subgroups: 30 patients treated with real acupuncture (Group B1); 30 patients treated with sham acupuncture (Group B2); 30 non-treated patients (Group B3). Results: The allergic subjects of group B1, compared with controls, showed a significant reduction of IL-10 after a specific treatment with acupuncture (P<0.05). On the other hand, in those patients treated with sham acupuncture (B2) as well as in non-treated patients (B3), the IL-10 values remained high and unchanged. There was a statistically significant change in IL-2 values at 24 hours (P<0.05) after real acupuncture (Groups A, B1), however the values remained within normal ranges. The IL-6 do not change after therapy. Conclusion: The acupuncture treatment can reduce plasmatic level of IL-10 in chronic allergic rhinitis. | FILOMENA BANGRAZI PETTI M.Sc.Ph.D. ALDO LIGUORI M.D. FLORA IPPOLITI M.D.Ph.D. | 2002 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2002,22,2: | 12 |

| 4 | Effect of a basic Chinese traditional diet in overweight patients显示文摘OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of a basic Chinese traditional diet (BTCD) in overweight patients on body mass index (BMI), lean mass, sense of hunger, and eating behaviour. METHODS: A total of 694 enrolled subjects (218 male and 476 female) were divided into two groups: group A undergoing a 1200-Kcal BTCD, and group B undergoing a 1200-Kcal standard western diet. RESULTS: From T0 (before treatment) to T1 (6 weeks after treatment), BMI was lowered in group A from (32.33±5.51) to (31.96±5.56) kg/m2 , and in group B from (31.62±6.29) to (31.36±6.47) kg/m2 . After treatment, patients in group A lost more weight (0.37±0.52) kg than group B (0.26±0.79) kg (P=0.0044). From T0 to T1, the mean lean mass of group A decreased from (16.48±5.50) to (16.27± 5.45) kg. In group B, mean lean mass decreased from (16.93±6.49) to (16.44±6.29) kg. The difference was significant (P=0.0078). CONCLUSION: The two diets could lead to lowerBMI, improve lean mass as well as eating behaviour and sense of hunger. However, the BTCD was significantly better than the western standard diet. | Aldo Liguori Filomena Petti Susanna Rughini Laura Silli Rosa Asprino Cristina Maglio Frida Leonetti | 2013 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2013,33,3: | 1 |
| 5 | Effects of basic traditional Chinese diet on body mass index,lean body mass,and eating and hunger behaviours in overweight or obese individuals显示文摘OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of a basic traditional Chinese diet with a Western standard diet on body mass index(BMI),lean body mass(LBD),and eating and hunger behaviours.METHODS:A sample of 284 patients were randomized into 2 groups:group A(n = 142) followed a basic traditional Chinese diet(BCTD) and group B(n =142) followed a Western standard diet(WSD).Both diets were set at approximately 1200 calories.The patients enrolled were compared before treatment and 6 weeks after treatment,and then follow-ups were made at 1 year and 5 years.RESULTS:In the BCTD group,BMI decreased by0.46 kg/m2 and LBM by 0.25 kg,versus respectively0.28 kg/m2 and 0.41 kg in the WSD group.Findings of eating self-assessment,hunger measurement and psychophysical indices of health were also in favour of the BCTD.CONCLUSION:Outcomes show that the BCTD has a better effect on BMI and LBM,as well as over the medium/long term,and provides stronger psychophysical support to obese patients. | Frida Leonetti Aldo Liguori Filomena Petti Susanna Rughini Laura Silli Stefano Liguori Sergio Bangrazi | 2016 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2016,36,4: | 0 |
